The front axle is of an H section steel stamping,through the single ends of which the pivot pins passwith plain bushings in the jawed swivel axles. A ballthrust bearing to carry the weight and having an adjust-ment is located below an aluminum top cap. Semi-elliptic springs are used fore and aft, those atthe back being underslung and supplemented by a pairof helical springs at the rear end of each, these coilsprings displacing the usual shackle.
